Using the Linkam TS1500, researchers observe how duplex stainless steel undergoes morphological changes with temperatures close to its melting point. They heated samples up to 1500°C and captured images of the changing material using a confocal microscope. This research is essential work to help understand how heat treatments affect steel, in order to avoid inadequate heat treatment which leads to intergranular corrosion.

See how a unique setup using Linkam’s TS1500 allows researchers to perform beamline XRD analysis at high temperature at Diamond Light Source. Here, they use the new long-duration experimental beamline I11 to study phase formation kinetics of metal alloys, demonstrating a new technique for metallurgical studies.
Researchers used Linkam’s high TS1500 to quench silica glas from 1100°C, studying the resulting mechanical properties of the glass in order to undetsand the effects of heating, quenching and compression on the properties of glass.
Using Linkam’s high temperature stage TS1500, researchers look at the phase stability of nanocrystalline TiO₂ at temperatures up to 1000°C.
This article studies the impact of the binder material in industrial catalysts. Using the Linkam TS1500V to perform catalytic reactions at 250 and 300°C, the authors used operando spectrocopy and in situ confocal fluoroscence microscopy to show how different binder materials affect the final material composition.
